Colorful Sunset from Jan 2nd

There was a recent gorgeous sunset in early January that I particularly liked on my daily walk.  The colors were beautiful.

Autumn is Finally Here in St. Mary's County!

I loved this red tree with a reflection in the water.  The light was really nice between the clouds.

Lovely reflection.


I played with the zoom on this one for an interesting shape.

Fun with Peppers!

 I wanted to try a still life of peppers, but I don't even like to eat them!  I gave a few away afterwards. They have such bold colors and fun shapes.

                       This LaRouge pepper looked like a little family at the right angle.

Same pepper, different angle.

                                      I used a light box for this one, shot from above.




                    I shook the camera a little for this one to make the glow.
